Publish a DPI Safeguards-aligned coverage profile with honest enforcement status #595

Description

@jeremi

Tracked by #590. Depends on #593. Runtime-enforced outcomes also depend on #594.

Outcome

Registry Stack publishes a versioned, reviewable DPI Safeguards-aligned profile that maps relevant framework requirements to concrete Registry Stack controls, external operator responsibilities, or explicit unsupported gaps without inventing a dpi: field taxonomy or claiming blanket compliance.

Requirements

  • Pin the exact DPI Safeguards framework source, version, retrieval provenance, and content digest used by the profile.
  • Separate framework safeguards from semantic concepts and privacy classification vocabularies.
  • Map only requirements relevant to Registry Stack's bounded responsibilities.
  • For each mapping, record the safeguard reference, interpretation, applicable product surface, expected evidence, owner, and one status:
    • enforceable
    • declared_external
    • unsupported
    • not_applicable with rationale
  • Bind enforceable entries to stable safeguard-profile rule IDs and concrete implementation tests or runtime evidence.
  • Keep organizational controls, legal determinations, retention operations, human oversight, and other external responsibilities visibly outside runtime enforcement when Registry Stack cannot prove them.
  • Produce a deterministic coverage report from the selected Registry Stack release, enabled features, semantic/classification profiles, and safeguard profile.
  • Prevent report-only configuration, descriptive metadata, or an unverified classification from being presented as enforced.
  • Include a review and update procedure for new framework versions and changed Registry Stack capabilities.

Acceptance criteria

  • Every included safeguard has an exact source reference and one unambiguous status.
  • Every enforceable claim points to a stable rule ID, enforcement point, and passing evidence.
  • External and unsupported responsibilities remain visible in generated output.
  • No mapping treats DPI Safeguards, HIPAA, GDPR, or another regime name as an inherent field classification.
  • The generated report is deterministic, bounded, versioned, and digest-covered.
  • Documentation states that the profile is implementation coverage evidence, not a legal compliance certification.
  • An independent policy/security review finds no unsupported enforcement claim.

Non-goals

  • A universal compliance engine
  • Automated legal-basis or jurisdiction decisions
  • Runtime interpretation of mutable framework web pages
  • Replacing institution-specific risk assessment, approvals, or operating procedures
  • Making every DPI Safeguards principle a Relay runtime feature
